- Khandi Alexander. Khandi Alexander got her start as a dancer and choreographer, working with Whitney Houston, appearing in the video for Natalie Cole's 1988 cover of "Pink Cadillac," and making small appearances in films like "CB4" and "What's Love Got to Do with It."
- Andy Dick. Comedian Andy Dick made a name for himself with a gangly physicality and anything-goes shamelessness on shows like "The Ben Stiller Show" and a short-lived "Get Smart" remake.

- Phil Hartman. Phil Hartman was arguably the biggest star on "NewsRadio." The veteran comedian was coming off of eight years as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," where he played current presidents, future presidents, and every type of character in between.
